I messaged him asking for the brand.... how does all the other parts look? Are there any brands that you can say to stay away from? By the way... Thanks for your time.... I didnt think someone would answer that fast. I just signed up on this forum because hondaforums.com is becoming too much of a joke. Thanks again, Victor

Id pay the extra dough for some well known name-brand internals , such as Eagle or crower. Proven performance

I know the feeling, college sucks ya dry.
Id say your best bet would be to search the marketplace, see if you can come across some at a decent price, or maybe find someone discarding a used bottom end with those parts already installed (crazy, i know), hopefully in good to decent condition.

Ya it sucks since really a full time student has 12 credit hours and I got 16! Ha so ya its kinda hard to do really anything... I have a month off in the winter tho so I figured that would be a great time to do it.... I would love to turbo it too this winter but money once again! It would also be nice if my parents would contribute too. Nope I get stuck with everything... car payment, car insurances (2 cars), food up here (hrs from home) and schooling, I do understand I'm suppose to be responsible but still... So ya money is kinda straped..... This is the first offical mod I will be doing to my baby The guy I bought it from said he did all the internals and it was ready to get a turbo... but I have a highly dont agree with him... Overall I think I got fucked! I paid $5000 had the B18B1 swap, Apexi cf hood, some 15 inch rims.... looked good when i bought it but then after about a month when the paint started dissappearing i realized its not good..

21 credits (7 classes), not enough time for my car, no time for a social life . I feel ya. Sucks to hear that the car got duped over, wax it often to prevent it from decaying even worse. If finances are an issue, you just going to have to wait until christmas break till you can beg the parents for some dough (Sad puppy face always works )
